Most of the challenges, struggles and issues in your life, Dear One, would resolve themselves beautifully if only you would remember to choose to take care of yourself first – to nurture, honor, love, and respect yourself first – to create, to discover, to experience a good feeling place for yourself, first.

Don’t try harder, Dear One.

Try more joyfully.

You should know that you won’t get there any faster, Dear One, by rushing.

(And there aren’t any shortcuts either.)

But if you remember what we keep telling you, if you remember to make happiness your priority, who cares how long it takes you to get there, if you are enjoying yourself along the way, right?

P.S.

Before you answer, you should also know that you travel at a much quicker rate towards that which you are wanting, that you function most efficiently and effectively, when you are happy Dear One, then when you are anything else.

The sting caused by the illusion of rejection is a small price to pay for the gift of clarity, Dear One.

And you should know that gratitude serves as a great balm for the pain.

No one can tell you what you are worth, Dear One.

It just doesn’t work that way. You have to tell them.

And you do, everyday.

You tell them with every choice that you make, with every word that you speak,  and with every action that you take.

They will follow your lead, Dear One.

They will take their direction from you.

They will treat you the way that they see you treating you.

Just one more reason for you to treat yourself well.

Just one more reason for you to treat yourself with love, kindness, forgiveness, flexibility, generosity, honesty, compassion and respect.

This is your life, Dear One.

• Love it
• Hate it
• Enjoy it
• Waste it
• Share it
• Hoard it
• Embrace it
• Fear it
• Celebrate it
• Worry it away

What you do with it is totally and completely up to you.

How you respond to the events in it is totally and completely up to you.

How you react to the people in it is totally and completely up to you.

Not them, Dear One.

You.

Just you.

• Choose what comes in
• Choose what goes out

• Choose to hold on
• Choose to let go

• Choose what you want more of
• Choose what you want less of

• Choose what is worthy of your attention
• Choose what to ignore

• Choose what matters
• Choose what does not

Your choices are the breathe of your life, Dear One.

They sustain you. They nourish you.  They replenish or deplete.

They determine the pace, quality and depth of the days, months and years of your life.

Like your breath, Dear One, your choices are more powerful when given the benefit of your full attention.

You want to know how to put an end to stagnation, Dear One?

Move.

• Your spiritual body is connected to your emotional body
• Your emotional body is connected to your physical body
• Your physical body is connected to your spiritual body

Move one, Dear One, and you will be creating room for movement to occur across them all.

• If you are physically restricted, meditate
• If you are emotionally closed off, walk, run, go climb a rock
• If you are feeling spiritually disconnected, laugh

There is no reason at all whatsoever for you to address physical stagnation physically, emotional stagnation emotionally, or spiritual stagnation spiritually.

Create movement, allow movement to occur at your point of least resistance, Dear One, instead of trying to force it to occur at your point of greatest resistance, and you will have found the key that will open the door to releasing stagnation across all areas of your life.

If you are being asked to choose, Dear One, which answer do you think will best serve you?

A:  Hold on to your plans

B:  Live your life
